Lotus 21 No.8 3rd French GP 1961 Jim Clark in 1:43 scale
This is the Lotus 21 No.8 3rd French GP 1961 Jim Clark in 1:43 scale by Spark.
At the 1961 French Grand Prix held at the high‑speed Reims‑Gueux circuit, Jim Clark delivered an impressive drive in the Lotus 21 No. 8 to finish third, scoring valuable World Championship points for Team Lotus. Clark’s Lotus 21 — a lightweight, nimble car powered by a Coventry Climax FPF 1.5‑litre engine — showcased its agility against a strong field that included Ferrari and Porsche entries in very fast, long straights and sweeping curves. What made this race stand out was Giancarlo Baghetti’s shock victory on his World Championship debut, the only time a driver has won his very first Grand Prix start, making Clark’s podium in such historic company all the more notable.
